its ok to be nerves. go online & do a search on medical problem with tampons. unless a doctor or someone perfisonal like that says that can get stuck & have to be remove from sugry then use them. i know everyone says mother knows best but maybe your mom doesnt realy know what she is talking about!Does your sister use them? if so & she doesnt have ne problems then you should be ok! I hope i help ... If ya need nething else let me know!

Well T.S.S is fatal, definitely.
But I think as long as you inseRt it coRRectly, and change it often you should be fine. Just Relax youR body, and slide it in at an angle.
HoweveR, if you'Re THAT woRRied, peRhaps pads would be a betteR choice, and theRe's absolutely NO shame in that. :)

your mom is being retarded!! yea you can die from them if you get TSS but if you look on the package, the chances of that are highlyyy unlikely...if you make sure you dont change your tampon too much or keep it in for too long and use the right absorbency, you MOST LIKELY arent going to get TSS.
also, your tampon is not going to get stuck in you!!! if it does (which it probably wont) you use your fingers and pull it out....if that doesnt work, you go to the gyno and they get it out with some tongs!!!!!
ive been using tampons for 5.5 years and neither one has happened to me!!!

If you're scared about this(and this is a uncomfortability issue during your period) then I definitely think that you should not use them because you're not comfortable in them. Use what you want to use and what's comfortable for you. Having to sit a certain way during your period with fear of it getting stuck in "there" is another fear that adds terribly to you. You already possess the fear of leakage. So if you're really in this sort of fear, which causes you uncomfortability that you've had enough of unless you can deal with it, don't put it on then. It's not worth it all. Your comfortability throughout a period is very important.

Tampons are very safe if you take a few basic precautions:
1) wash your hands before you insert it, and don't handle the actual cotton part of the tampon, just the holder (the plastic or cardboard part),
2) change the tampon fairly frequently (every time you go to the bathroom, or every four hours or so),
3) use the smallest size tampon you can. If the tampon fills and starts to leak in less than 2 hours, it's too small. If it feels really dry when you pull it out (doesn't slide out easily), then it's probably too big. You might need different sizes for different parts of your period.
These measures will protect you from Toxic Shock Syndrome, a RARE condition associated with tampons. It is caused by a bacterial infection. You can read about Toxic Shock Syndrome on the insert that comes in a box of tampons. But it is very rare, and millions of women use tampons with no problems.
You don't have to worry about getting a tampon stuck in you. Your vagina is short enough so that you can reach a couple of fingers in all the way to the top if a tampon gets shoved up in there, and pull it out yourself. The best way to prevent a tampon getting shoved up in there is to make sure you remove the old tampon before putting a new one in.
